Spinach and Cheese Enchiladas

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic to skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the sauce begins to bubble.
